For those who bring a Laptop, Tablet or Smart phone,
we have a credible FREE "WI-FI" internet access.
Our FREE of charge WiFi system has the ability to carry out the daily routines of emails and logging into your favourite web sites etc.
"BUT PLEASE, IT IS IMPORTANT",
DO NOT WATCH LIVE, CATCH-UP or ON DEMAND TV THROUGH THE WI-FI.
It will result in the system being seriously overloaded and clogged which will then result in a total shut down, in turn depriving you and other site users from this valuable asset.
The local television reception is brilliant, so please bring a TV set with you.
"Please Remember" that a Caravan or a Motorhome is realistically a steel box, which seriously restricts the necessary WiFi communicating signals. Our WiFi system is quite powerful, even powerful enough to penitrate to the interiour of your Caravan/Motorhome, but to make the best possible connection for your very first time on site, you do need to be out in the open and away from the steel shield of your van,
especially for your first intial connection to our system.
Top Tip:
To obtain a better, smoother connection to our WiFi, we recommend that you "re-boot", your tablet, smart phone or laptop, which tends to have a refreshing effect, and uncloggs any unwanted bits that may have become routine to your wireless router at home.
This is especially necessary if your tablet, smart phone or lap top has been routinely kept on stand-by or sleep mode.
"Re-boot" means:- completely power down or switch off, then power it back up or switch on. In some cases, with laptops, it's adviseable to disconnect or take out the battery, and then put it back in again.
(Our WiFi system is auto re-booted just after 7.0am each morning, to ensure it's kept refreshed)
The local rural Broadband has recently under gone an upgrade, but it's probably still not as fast as urban areas, or the speeds you may be accustomed to at home. But it is better than some of the more remote areas of Lakeland. Fibre-optic cables have recently been installed as near as Hesket Newmarket, (only 1.5 miles away) which has made a slight improvement to the speed, and connectivity.
You can simply gain access to the WI-FI facility by following the detailed instructions on the site notice board/s.
This is a service we provide, funded entirely out of our own pockets, purely for the benefit of our guests, and this cost just cannot be absorbed like large turnover companies. It costs us a great deal to up-keep and maintain, (with its unavoidable periodic up-grades with the very best of equipment available, + dedicated Commercial Broadband and all year, all season line rental, which is a financial burden to us during the winter months when there are fewer guests on the site, resulting in minimul takings).

All the Electric Hookups have a rating of 10amps, which is 2,500 watts. Used with respect, 10amps should serve you well with the most of the needs of the modern Caravan or Motor Home. (Lighting, Television, Microwave, integral Battery Charger and general lower wattage equipment). However, we do recommend that to avoid any unnecessary tripping of the local mcb, for space heating you lean more to your Gas equipment. It is important to keep this in mind if you intend to heat your awning during the winter months.
